    I ride a cafe racer but my use case is strictly as a toy. I have a sensible daily driver that gets good gas mileage and gets me to the grocery store. I don’t ever have to ride in weather if I don’t want to.

    I don’t think a dual sport gets you riding in the winter. That’s a good use case if you like to go on trails and such. I wouldn’t recommend riding in any ice conditions. Even if your motorcycle is your only mode of transportation, honestly, I’d call an Uber if it’s icy.

    Half of buying a bike is finding one you think looks cool 🙂.

      I have access to vehicles if I need to but I stubbornly love riding through shitty weather. I rode through two winters on my previous bike although I do acknowledge it was pretty stupid. I never had to ride in snowy or icy conditions thankfully.

      I’m from an area that classically gets a ton of snow but based on the last few years I’m not sure how true that will be for long
